Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportions of effective chest compressions using different instant CPR feedback technologies. Chest compression and successful ventilation attempts will be monitored and assessed by Little Anne® QCPR® manikin.[ During the performing course of five adult CPR cycles (30 chest compressions: 2 rescue breaths). ];The number of successful ventilation attempts. Successful ventilation attempts and their rate compared to the chest compressions will be assessed and reported by Little Anne® QCPR® manikin.[ During the performing course of five adult CPR cycles (30 chest compressions: 2 rescue breaths). ]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Rescuer fatigue level among subjects. Each subject’s vital signs will be checked prior to and post every attempt to perform CPR in order to examine the level of fatigue as the difference in heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). The subject's vital signs will be assessed and obtained by a healthcare provider (respiratory therapist) with a reliable digital vital sign apparatus. The respiratory therapist will assess and record the subject's respiratory rate during checking the other vital signs. [ Immediately before and after each attempt of performing five adult CPR cycles.]
